John -- I am going to work my heart out to elect Kamala Harris as our next president, and I'd like to tell you why.

As Governor of Illinois, I've stood shoulder to shoulder with Kamala and witnessed her courage and conviction. On reproductive rights, on worker's rights, on voting rights, on civil rights, and all the issues impacting Americans.

She is ready to prosecute the case against Donald Trump and his mini-me J.D. Vance.
She is ready to fight for working families.
She is ready to protect our freedoms against an avalanche of hate and extremism.

John, I know you understand the urgency of this election. But if we want to win, none of us can afford to be bystanders, so I have to ask:

Will you please pitch in your first $25 to support Kamala's campaign and defeat Trump on November 5? Online contributions like yours allow her team to invest in ads and organizers in each of the battleground states.

I've never minced words about Donald Trump, and I won't start now.

Donald Trump is a convicted felon, an adjudicated sexual abuser, and a congenital liar. He is a racist, homophobic, misogynistic grifter who attempted to overturn the results of a free and fair election to cling onto power. He is wholly unfit for the office of the presidency.

The Republicans already have resorted to lying, offending people, and hurling insults. They think they can win and implement Project 2025 if they denigrate their opponents.

Clearly, they have no idea who they're up against.

Kamala Harris is a champion of American values and a fierce advocate for building up the middle class.

But no one person alone can win an election, not even Kamala Harris. Democracy isn't a spectator sport. It thrives when we all actively participate.

If you have the means, I'm imploring you once again to donate $25 to elect Kamala Harris our next president. We must do everything we can to defeat Donald Trump this November.

Let's get it done!

Gov. JB Pritzker
Governor, Illinois
